The work is laborious and time consuming. Felicitas doesn't see anything unusual as she helps bind and drag heavy sacks of gold.
The bags are empty
On the floor
+2 stone cunning
Well you can pick and place gold in the bags. After a good 45 minutes of work you've created a nice pile of loot.
As you hack and pick at the gold there is sloshing sound coming from the pool. From a distance this creature resembles a giant snapping turtle. It has a peaked and craggy shell from which protrude four long fins and a scowling head at the end of a long neck. Rather than a turtle’s head, however, this creature’s head has irrefutably shark-like features. It has
round, black eyes and a gaping maw filled with rows of razor sharp teeth.

"What is that thing?!?"
Karnog prepares his shield and casts shield of faith on Desmond. (+3 deflection to 4AC for 7 minutes).
Using her wand of Bless she buffs the party and starts to sing. . Bardic performance +2.
It looks like some twisted science experiment cross breeding some turtle with shark qualities, it is amphibious. Snapping with its giant maw, looking like it can swallow it's prey whole.
"Never seen anything like it ...but I bet it won't like this."
Beware of his maw! I fear this is an abdomination, and abberation.
The fireball burns the shell somewhat and the pool creates some steam but the creature seams relatively unfazed. The creature moves slowly on the ground, its massive webbed feet better in the water. It extend ist might choppers out to bit at Kalim,

Graung moves up next to the creature and attacks, I assume no AOO cause it is grappling, but if so my AC is 29
Malcolm moves forward to K-30 and brings his Bastard Sword down upon the creature.
Grung's sword splinters a fragment of shell. Malcolm hits with considerably more force gouging the shell.

DMPC Perception rolls:
Aurora, who is flying, notices a thermal change in the cavern that provide another two feet of life under his wings. He turns to see on the cliff, an opening what he previously missed. Coming out of the well concealed door is an iron automaton standing twice as tall as a normal human. Its heavy footfalls shake the ground with bone-jarring force.
You feel the ground move under your feet. You have no line of sight from where you are below.
"Beware. Some clockwork is comming!" And flying high up in the air to be safe
"Clockwork? Bizarre. Undead, turtle monsters, and now constructs? It would appear this dungeon comes about its reputation fairly."
RD 1: DMPC Des
The rogue is taken aback has he see's the sorcerer halfway in the turtle mouth. in a fury he windmills on the creature with two swords

Both attacks miss badly.

Only Aurora can actually see the creature on the cliff, since it's such a steep angle and higher than you. Where it is positioned you don't have a LOS this close to the cliff.

"Let's focus on saving my apparently delectible flesh!"
Karnog moves forward and bashes the turtle as well.

The touch attack missed. Surely the distraction of being eaten effected the sorcerer. Sorcerer soup...good with basil.
Karnog missed with his mighty blow.
RD 2: Turtle Shark
Gulps to swallow the sorcerer whole,
; ;
With one giant flipper claw he whacks at Malcolm
;
Grung being aided by Feli levels a mighty blow striking leg and the beast is unconscious (with the sorcerer in his belly) You immediately notice the dilemma you can't get to the softer under side to access the belly - how he is currently positioned.
"Who's strongest? Come here and I can triple your carrying capacity, and increase your strength!"
Karnog readies to cast ant haul on the strongest party member.
Grung continues to chop away
The iron golem peers over the cliff then at you before it turns around and walks back into the wall. the door blends seamlessly back inot the wall.
Grung continues to hack away chopping to get the sorcerer out chopping the head off.
Des knees down and starts to try find an area to cut an whole in. "Can we use leverage and prop it up slightly ...put a rock under it then? There a stone." He points to rock near the cliff.
let's keep hacking away until we reach him.
Malcolm joins Grung in widening the hole.
Karnog, can you heal Kalim while we try to reach him, without healing the beast? If so, maybe he can help to cut his way out?
The group continues to hack away, Desmond will go and retrieve the stone, "we gotta get some gap under it to pull him out."
Although Grung and Malcolm think they can get him form the head and neck area.
"That's too much weight, I'm afraid. Can we apply leverage and roll it? If I can reach him I can certainly his his wounds."
Dragon! See if there is something we can try to use as leverage
